HT201210 My ipad keeps returning to the home page mid game, web browsing? How can I rectify?

My Ipad has just started to kick me out randomly when Internet surfing or within Apps. The software is Upto date.

Hey Big Essex Al,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing some performance issues with your iPad 2. Do these issues persist after closing all application and restarting your device?
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Restarting your iOS device
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If so, it may be necessary to restore your iPad using a computer with iTunes. Please be sure to backup your iPad first.

  • Why does my ipad repeatedly return to the home page

    My first generation ipad mysteriously returns from apps to the home page without warning.  Can't seem to figure out what is causing this.  Sometimes after I reset the ipad it will be OK for  a while but starts again soon.

    Try closing all apps and then reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    This might help for Safari as well. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.

  • I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

    I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

    Since yesterday morning about 11:00 I have been having TERRIBLE email problems on this iPad 3G. Email comes in (I hear the sound) but nothing displays -- no folders, no content, no nothing in e-mail. The blank email screen shows up and then disappears after about 10 seconds, taking me back to the Home Screen.
    Right now, the only way I can see email on this device is to log onto AOL via the AOL app.
    I have been doing a lot of online reading about the problem. It has to do with iOS 8.1.3 and it affects older iPads and iPhones. I'm having no problems on my iPod touch, which -- fortunately -- is so old it cannot update its iOS 6.
    I waited to update the iOS on this iPad until iOS 8 was "mature." That was about 2 weeks ago.
    Anybody know know if Apple is aware? working on a solution?

  • My iPad keeps reverting to the home screen, both from Safari and Mail. ???

    My iPad keeps reverting to the home screen from Safari and Mail. ???

    Have you tried closing the two apps completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari and Mail apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • An unknown error has occurred (EC ) To return to the home page please click here

    Ich versuche seit Wochen, in Appworl meine App mit meinem Torch zu syncronisieren!
    Aber bekomme immer folgende Meldung:
    An unknown error has occurred (EC )
    To return to the home page please click here
    Welchen Browser brauche ich?
    Oder was muß ich tun um meine Apps wieder mit Firefox oder Chrome syncronisieren zu können?

    I have seen in another thread this same error with no resolution.  All I've seen are people trying to fix a problem on the PB when it is a desktop problem not the PB!  I have had the same error from more than one desktop PC with nothing in common. What does it take to get an answer? This ec error is happening to more and more people with no help.

  • I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes

    I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes store pop up like they normally would when browsing the itunes store but when I click on one of them, it is a blank page. Is there a setting I need to change? Does it just take an extremely long time to load? Please help!!

    Bucktr09:
    I'm having the exact same problem.  I upgraded to the newest version of iTunes on my iMac and ever since I did the store is a blank white screen.  I can get my library content but the store is a no go.  Is there any one out there with a solution?

  • How do I refresh the page I'm looking On? How do I go to the home page without clsoeing & reopening browser?

    Actually two questions since upgrading to version 9 of Firefox:
    1) In order to refresh a page (in case that page has updated information) I see no refresh symbol and have to click on the URL window and actually reenter it. Is that the only way?
    2) When browser is already open on an other than home page I see no method to get to the home page other than reopening browser. What is the easier way?

    Firefox 4 and later use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.<br />
    During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.<br />
    If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.<br />
    Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.<br />
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache this way.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press F5 or "Ctrl + R" for a normal reload

  • HT1725 I've purchased an entire album but some of the songs stop playing midway through. How can I rectify this?

    I've purchased an entire album but some of the songs stop playing midway through. How can I rectify this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • IPhone and iPad Constantly return to the Home Screen

    My iPhone AND iPad constantly quits mail, pandora, and may other apps and returns to the home screen. It also does the same in the middle of typing emails. I have spent four months back and forth to the Apple Store with no success. The attitude has been well...I don't know what's wrong. Now the warranty is up. Any advise or options?

    You name it, I have done it, multiple times. I have restored and set up as a new device every trip(4) to the Apple Store and on my own several times. The store has also reset the firmware twice. I have spent about 10 hours at different stores tech with no resolve. This all started when icloud came out. 

  • My facetime and some of my other apps just shut off and return to the home page.  why is it doing this?

    My apps keep shutting off?  Why?

    Abooth3-
    If you double-click your Home button from the Home screen, a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen.  Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle.  A red minus sign will appear on each.  Touch the red minus sign of each to remove them all from the list.  That also stops an App from working, if it is one that runs in the background.
    See if that helps.  If not, try resetting (rebooting) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4. Now I no longer have the icon to automatically return to my home page from another website. How do I get it back?

    The entire toolbar is different, but most especially there is no icon (used to be a little house) that I can click on to return to my home page. Using Vista

    The home page icon has by default been moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar. You can move it back to where you want - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars
